we caught up with the legend himself and tried to figure out how does Shammi Kapoor spend his days. The answer that came from him was rather heart wrenching, as he quoted, "I spend three days in the hospital. I am a renal patient. Three days, I get dialyzed at the Kidney Centre. But I have four holidays also. I can't walk too much, my mobility has gone. I like to go out for a drive. I drive myself and look at pretty girls. At my age, I'm allowed. I have a license to kill." 

Thus life moves on, and this man's spirit leaves one in complete awe of what he is still capable of doing.

Generations have moved ahead and the Kapoors continue to deliver one powerhouse performer after the other. Quite obviously now, it leaves Ranbir Kapoor with very high expectations, that he needs to meet with his debut film set to release. 

TIMES NOW asks Shammi Kapoor on his opinion about Ranbir Kapoor joinging the league. Shammi Kapoor answers, "I wish him all the best. It's going to be a very tough job since his father happened to be a great actor, his mother was also very popular. His grandfather was a legend, so it's going to be very tough for him. But I'm sure, he'll overcome all the constraints." 

For all those actors, who are still trying to grab their share of the limelight, here's a word of advice from the man himself. As Shammi Kapoor avers, "Today, I feel it's very necessary to create your own identity. As you're in a very competitive field and to be recognised by your audience, you have to create your own niche." 

So with those pearls of wisdom, here's hoping that viewers would again someday get to see actors like him, who still continue to live on as perfect examples of a living legend.

Ranbir Kapoor is mama’s boy 30th Oct 2007  Not out of coercion but out of love, newcomer Ranbir Kapoor is mama Neetu Singh’s boy. While dad Rishi Kapoor is pretty cool about whatever Ranbir does in personal life, mama Neetu Singh has a list of dos and don’ts for the young newcomer. Take, for instance, Ranbir’s wish to buy a bicycle. He had wanted to have a cycle for a long time and papa Rishi is cool about it. But not Neetu Singh who believes riding cycles or mobikes is pretty dangerous on Mumbai streets.

Not just this, Neetu makes sure Ranbir gets a fixed pocket money and does not become an extravagant.

According to reports, Ranbir gets Rs. 1,500 from his mom every week. That amounts to just a little over Rs 200 per day. But Ranbir seems to have no complaints because he doesn’t have much lavish tastes.

Neetu has told a Mumbai tabloid that she wants Ranbir to earn his own money and then spend it. She believes too much money spoils the youth.

Ranbir, on his part, has deep love and admiration for his mama’s decisions. He apparently takes it as an education.
 

Ranbir Kapoor to romance four heroines 02nd May 2007  If things go as planned, newcomer Ranbir Kapoor might be seen romancing four girls in a Yashraj Films presentation. Lucky guy! Ranbir, Rishi Kapoor ’s son, will be making his acting debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movie Saanvariya this year. The buzz now has it that the young star has been signed by Aditya Chopra for a Yashraj movie that will be directed by Siddharth Anand , whose Tara Rum Pum hit the theatres last Friday. What is interesting is that Aditya Chopra is reported to be signing as many as four heroines opposite Ranbir in the film. Although there is no official confirmation, the grapevine says the four heroines may be Preity Zinta , Priyanka Chopra , Katrina Kaif and Amrita Rao . If such a cast ensemble indeed takes place it will be nothing short of a casting coup. The film might go on the floors before this year-end.
